The Michelin Guide for Spain and Portugal was announced last night with the big news being that a new three-star restaurant joins the list.
Dani García's eponymous restaurant in Marbella on the South coast of Spain, was elevated from two to three stars in the 2019 selection, with the guide's inspectors noting "his unique way of reformulating Andalusian cuisine in a contemporary way, ensuring that each development tells a different story based on products related to local traditions."
A total of 30 new restaurants joined the starred list from both Spain and Portugal, including four new two-star restaurants - three in Spain - Ricard Camarena's restaurant in Valencia, Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona, El Molino de Urdániz in Navarra, and one in Portugal - Alma in Lisbon.
Amongst the 30, there was also a healthy increase in other one-star ratings, with 25 new one-star restaurants, the majority being in Spain (5 in Madrid) and a smattering of just three new one-star restaurants across Portugal.
